Bingo. I grow weary of the argument the pianos weren't climatized for NA. It has come from every Asian piano mfr out there as a reason why their early pianos had poor quality. The truth is they just didn't season their wood adequately.

In discussing Pearl River pianos and their intended markets, John writes: << What the Chinese didn't realize at first is that the climate in other markets is not the same as in China. Because of that, the U.S. instruments suffered from the maladies that we have observed. Now, those things have been corrected, and the pianos are supposed to be good quality. >> Greetings, I still don't understand how this is. The climate in Florida is as different from that in Nebraska as the climate in San Francisco is from West Texas. And all four of the places are different from one another! In other words, exactly what part of the U.S. are the Chinese building their instruments for?
